Rich, if that&#39;s what you want then just bring Griffin back, he&#39;d be cheaper and give you the same thing. I do have a question for you - I know you want to draft BPA at 12, but if the Browns are going to use it on a QB, who would you prefer to see them get - trade for Garapollo, draft Trubisky or Watson, or trade for Cousins?<br /><br />DWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800694504837785724.post-47732588081111326562017-03-20T10:36:49.396-07:002017-03-20T10:36:49.396-07:00Just what this fan base needs, an unpatriotic, unA...Just what this fan base needs, an unpatriotic, unAmerican clown with nothing left in the tank!

Garoppolo will not make this a better team.

However, I do believe Garapollo would be worth trading for as long as they don&#39;t give up that #1 pick for him. I say this not because he backed up Brady, but because I hoped the Browns would draft him coming out of college - I thought he had a very high upside then and still believe that.<br /><br />DWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800694504837785724.post-26161782074919944212017-03-18T08:35:09.790-07:002017-03-18T08:35:09.790-07:00If you consider jumping to conclusions jumping off...If you consider jumping to conclusions jumping off the deep end, guilty as charged.richpassannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800694504837785724.post-22470255426498696512017-03-18T05:54:44.317-07:002017-03-18T05:54:44.317-07:00Rich, my response was not to you, it was to DW who...Rich, my response was not to you, it was to DW who jumped in with the name calling(&quot;hen pecked mamma&#39;s boy&quot;).

Not by a long shot.<br /><br />First of all, Trubisky will not play his first season. He&#39;s way too raw. The Browns need to fill too many holes elsewhere on the roster before wasting a draft pick on someone who won&#39;t play for at least one season.<br /><br />What they need is a fill-in quarterback until the 2018 college draft, a class that will feature a much stronger quarterback field than this year&#39;s. <br /><br />Who would you rather have? Mitch Trubisky or Sam Darnold? I&#39;d rather have the latter.<br /><br />Geno Smith is one of those fill-in types. So are Ryan Fitzpatrick and a few others.

But in reference to your last column, I&#39;d take this guy over Geno Smith. Smith&#39;s a proven loser in the NFL on what was an otherwise decent team - Trubisky may end up being the same, but he hasn&#39;t proven it yet, so I&#39;ll take unproven rookie over proven veteran loser. I doubt the Browns will get Trubisky anyway, and sure hope they don&#39;t waste any time on Smith.<br /><br />DWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
